He kept us up by getting 7 points from Chelsea (A), Mags (A), Everton (H), Villa (A), Stoke (H), Southampton (H) and Spurs (A). A mixed bag of fixtures but I don't think anyone would argue they're difficult. The points per game ratio he achieved was less than O'Neill had got (7 points from 7 games vs 32 points from 31 games).

:lol:

Not difficult ...... give over man, we'd only beaten 1 of those teams under MON that season and it was his team.

He'd managed 2 points from the 7 games prior to being sacked ...... during that period we were thrashed by QPR who were virtually relegated when we played them.

We also lost to another team who went down, Reading, with another dreadful performance.

Sunderland, during that period, dropped 5 places to 16th with 2 away games at Chelsea & Newcastle to play next.

That's 2 points from a possible 21, all vital games ... di Canio managed 8 in the same period.

We narrowly lost his first game away to Chelsea and also the last of the season, away to Spurs, in a meaningless match as we were already safe.

See? He couldn't even reach the heights of Paolo. The man is a fraud.
Dunno about that - the figures above are hardly impressive!

:eek: Surely he wasn't in charge for 26 games..?
 
do you know what happened the last day.

I have been given 2 instances of what went on, one from a player and one from somebody else.

I will not say what happened but have alluded to it, and at least one other poster on here alludes to it as well.

PDC may have been a strict manager and have a high work ethic, but he was not a man manager. Ive no doubt he has a brilliant football brain, but like roy keane he needed a good man beside him to reign him in.

What PDC done that day went beyond all what is right.

I know we discussed this the other day mate - and fwiw, I totally agree PDC crossed line - but what happened in his last few days/weeks as manager was a desperate attempt to force his authority on his players.

I'm pretty sure we have been told the same story about the team meeting, but I was also told that he was fighting a losing battle with an element of the squad and it wasn't a comfortable situation for anyone.

Depending on who you believe, Poyet had a similar problem later in the same season and in the end, Catts took it upon himself to bring the players together.

I don't buy this rotten core crap, but I do think there was a lack of professionalism at the time.

Moyes: 21 points from 34 games
PDC: 9 from 13


Poyet: 63 from 60
MON: 65 from 56
Bruce: 55 from 51
Sbragia: 23 from 22
Keane: 54 from 53.

That's how bad Moyes has been compared to others.
 
I was at West Brom when the players sabotaged the game ...... without a care for the club or the travelling support.
I agree with you mate, IMO the comedic display by JOS against palace in the 3 -1 defeat would have prompted PDC to tear a strip of O'Shea post match and I'm only guessing, but I reckon this was the start of the player mutiny.

Meanwhile :D


'Sam Allardyce can end his roller-coaster year on a financial high on Saturday by securing Crystal Palace’s Premier League status and banking another survival bonus.

'Allardyce earned £2million for keeping Sunderland up last season and was given a £1m pay-off when sacked by England in September.

'But from the lowest point in his career, he has returned to lead the Eagles to 38 points and victory over Burnley at Selhurst Park will secure their place in the top flight for a fifth year.

'It will also see Allardyce, never relegated from the top flight, rewarded with another £2m bonus in the most lucrative and controversial 12 months of his long spell in management.'

He'd stub his toe and strike oil!
 
I genuinely believe PDC's heart was in the right place and he was willing to put in the required effort to be a success but his "new brush sweeps clean" approach was never going to work with seasoned pros who had settled into their own routine. If he we had been in the championship with group of young and hungry players then he might have stood a chance.
 
The bloke championed hard work, dedication and commitment above all else.
that's why he didn't fit with the players
still a disgrace he got sacked
club would have been better off today if he had stayed longer
perhaps we would have even rebuilt by now which is now going to take three to five years at best
